[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 658731, member: 10832"] Out to 5-600 yards this doesn't make as much difference with most hunting cartridges. But for over that I use this list. 1. Temperature stable powder with charge filling 95% to slightly compressed, weighed to .2 of a grain. If shooting over 1000 yards keep them within .1 of a grain. 2. Bullets- sort by bearing surface to .002 then by weight to .2 of a grain. If shooting over 1000 yards I cut both numbers by half. 3. Micro seating die to seat the bullets exactly the same distance from the bearing surface to the lands. 4. Bullet run-out .001 5. Don't mix new brass and once-fired brass. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
